Miss Wendy Garren has resigned herself to one last tormented season in the Capital's condemning rich and titled high-society, under the critical and abusive eye of her parents, The Earl and Countess of Follies. At seven and twenty she knows she is there to escort and keep a watchful eye on her younger and vibrant twin sisters. But Wendy knows that when the end of the season comes and she remains unmarried, her parents will finally send her away. She never thought the season could end like this... The Duke of Thornberg Rhys Granger, is tired of scheming mothers and their giggling daughters floating around the edge of an ornately lit ballroom as they dance in a game of power. Nearing the age of Forty, after raising his younger sister, and having served many years of military service to the crown, he feels too old to be shopping for a wife that's barely left the classroom. To appease his happily married and sometimes nagging, younger sister, Rhys attends one last ball in the crown's Capital before planning to return home to his remote and vast Thornberg Estate. He would've never guessed how that night would end... Reader Reviews "This looks like the start of a great book. So underrated though." -Rosettle "I love this book! It's so good and heartbreaking!

To figure out her past and continue with the future, she'll have to face a creature no other than herself.
A queen is willing to give up everything for her people, but what is everything? Is it balls, ballgowns, and tea parties? Is it comfort, education, and wealth? Or, is it something much more wonderful and painful to lose? Could everything include love? Anastasia must navigate life as Queen of Karthia, but that grows increasingly complicated during the spring season when Anastasia is expected to find a King. All the while, Prince Taren, who is staying in Karthia for the Spring Season, threatens war. However, the war is avoidable if Anastasia is willing to marry Prince Taren upon his coronation. Can Anastasia give up thoughts of marrying someone for love? Can she overcome the struggles of being Queen? Can she ever fall in love with Taren, and get him to feel the same way for her? At what point is everything too great a sacrifice? ---Excerpt from Prologue---- I had once been asked if I was willing to give up everything for my kingdom. I pondered on the question for several days. It seemed so odd to be asked that, but at the same time it was imperative I know the answer. Especially considering I was to be queen. Back then I had answered yes, thinking that was the correct answer. Back then, the answer seemed simple. My everything only consisted of tall gray castle walls, dull and lifeless ladies in waiting, suitors who were entirely uninteresting and my kingdom, but now my everything also consists of you. I'm not sure if I would have so readily answered yes if I knew that you would become my everything. In the end, I cannot take back what I have promised and vowed, but I must wonder, how for how long can I keep my promise, before I have to give up everything?
Phoebe couldn't believe what she just heard. "Mom, I don't understand. How do you mean, you are not our mother?" "I met Gwen and Chad on the street all alone and I had no other choice but to take them in." "Did you find me on the street too?" Claudia shook her head and stood up. She went close to the window, staring at the abyss. It was like the past was calling out to her. "Your mother gave you to me." "Why? She didn't want me anymore?" "No, your mother was a very nice woman. She cared for everyone in the kingdom. I still remembered how she stood up for every woman when they were being cheated on in the kingdom." "Kingdom?" Phoebe asked. Claudia looked at her and said, "You come from a kingdom called Havilla, that was where you were born." "What happened then? Why did I leave? Why did my mom give me to you?" "There was a massacre going on in the kingdom and your mother was among the unfortunate few." Phoebe tried so hard to withhold her tears. These people were strangers to her but why does it hurt so much? "And my father." "Your father was a guardian of messages. He delivers messages to the people but he did something that was against the rule of the guardians and he had to pay for it with his life." She walked up to meet Claudia and asked, "What did he do?" Claudia looked at Phoebe and smiled, "He fell in love with your mother. Guardians falling in love with humans was a crime but no one has control of his or her heart. We can't dictate to our hearts who to love. Their relationship was a beautiful one but it wasn't meant to be."
Ilayan postures straight, upholding the dignified image as much as he can muster; he approaches the box. His footsteps echo throughout the entire hall; silencing the crowd who are most eager for his answer. With a decisive face, his arm moves, then, in all his knees, he sinks. In front of the most powerful man in the realm, he presents himself humbly; the scarlet ribbon lies in his open hands. "Forgive my insolence, Your Majesty, but with all the courage in my being, I ask—please grant me the hand of the Seventh Prince." . . . After the ten-year war at Gedeva, Ilayan marches back to the capital with victorious feats on his shoulders; the youngest Major General of the Military Forces in the history of Alexin Empire. As the symbol of aid and danger to those who covet the throne, he faces off a new silent battle of political schemes and conspiracies. But helping him now are not his comrades from the barracks but the male consorts he married in his harem [?] Disclaimer: This is a historical BL, which means having mxm & bxb pairings. Therefore, all members of Ilayan's harem are men. Note: This will be my new story here, and I hope you enjoy it. I'll try my best to update every day.

"Don't go around in circles. A single dagger to the heart is better than multiple cuts leading to the same ending." He said, this time his voice came from behind me and I felt his warm breath on my neck. Even with the tingling sensation on the base of my neck, my eyes were fixed on the nude painting in front of me. Yes! A nude painting. "This... This is for your sponsor isn't it?" I took a guess, turning my head to face him. He let out a muffled yes. I moved away from the painting and poured another glass of wine for myself. "Your sponsors have you go to these lengths?" I asked between giggles, "I wonder... do you sleep with them too?" as I reached the last sentence my tone became more serious. I took another gulp from the glass twirling in my hand. "And if I did. Why would you care? To judge me?" He scoffed and moved further away from me. My mind was a blur, a lot of hazing thoughts were already going through it, each one bounced off the sides of my brain and collided with each other, similar to the motion of the electrons in an atom. "No!" I stood up straight or at least tried to after some effort. Haziel rotated his gaze back to me. Dropping the wine glass on the table, I reached for the zip of my dress. "I won't judge." I zipped down the dress I was wearing while cherishing words like gold. With a swift motion, I guided the sleeves off and stripped myself. I pushed forth my bare chest, beginning to feel dizzy.
